Detailed explanation-1: -MRI provides exquisite detail of brain, spinal cord and vascular anatomy, and has the advantage of being able to visualize anatomy in all three planes: axial, sagittal and coronal (see the example image below).
Detailed explanation-2: -The advantage of acquiring a volume acquisition CT is the ability to reconstruct the images entirely in 3 different planes: the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. Viewing the anatomy and pathology in all 3 planes is particularly helpful when evaluating the extent of disease in a patient.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three basic reference planes used in anatomy: the sagittal plane, the coronal plane, and the transverse plane.
Detailed explanation-4: -CT is acquired in the axial plane, while coronal and sagittal images can be tendered by computer reconstruction.
